In 2014, will technology for seniors be absorbed into digital health?
A long holiday stretch ends. No, I’m not talking about Christmas decorations in shopping malls. The media frenzy that was CES 2014 may soon wane away. Although, not completely -- as I discover more articles. So let’s review: there were Silvers Summit exhibitors (6) and there were Digital Health (77). CES health-related overall -- 170 per Mobile Health News – and that is counting "e-Cigarette makers that categorized themselves as Digital Health." See one of a few cynical posts – where we can find a new word -- track-a-holism -- and a new slogan -- "sitting is the new smoking." But in the Digital Health exhibit list, note the presence of GrandCare and Independa – two long-standing players in what could have been categorized in a different event as senior technology.
